This isn’t the door was the problem ultimately.
It’s the classroom door and how DIFFICULT they make it for teachers to get it locked in a timely fashion
That’s why he got inside the classroom but no one is focusing on that.
And it’ll happen again. Because a huge portion of classroom doors are this design.
A security evaluation of facilities is SOP for organizations which take security seriously. Such an activity is not within the purview of the FBI.
But security evaluations cost $$, and even more $$ to correct deficiencies. They know this well (see TSA evaluation results and the corrective actions...rather, lack thereof...i.e., ‘theater’).
Thus it’s academic: Current security is not for the students, but the emotional needs of the teachers, promoted by the unions.
And emotional needs are not taken seriously.
Hence the balky locking bar and now proven derelict training of local police. The results were - though tragic - academic.
The reaction will ultimately be more $$ for the districts...and the unions (hardly the teachers, who deny their own risk).
It’s all about money, and control.
Remember this when evaluating how & why our educational establishment became so bold as to tell parents that they have no say in their children’s education or, for that matter, matters of medicine & gender.
Better, remember this when evaluating how the hell the DOJ ever even considered listening to the teachers unions when they requested sanction against parents for challenging them.
“Guns”??? Hardly.
Wow how stupid to only be able to lock the class room doors from the outside.
They all should have combination locks with the same code for inside and outside the doors. That would save time trying to find a key. If active shooter got into classroom and teacher was forced to lock the door with combo code, someone could then still unlock it from outside using code.
Yes, heard that it was a weekly occurrence for lock-downs due to car chases, robberies, etc. So some of the students said they didn’t think it was anything major to worry about when the school called a lock-down.
40 M to Ukraine could have offset the change in class room doors and other security protections.
Brilliant.
But school administrations and school security “experts” can’t seem to think of these things.
It’s maddening. I used to consult with a school on its security.
They had been advised of some things by a security team they paid for to help give them a plan.
There were so many holes in their security and they focused on the wrong things.
Every entrance was full glass.
But instead of advising on changing those out asap... they advised a buzz in system.
For huge glass doors.
Just one example of the madness.
As I suspected. The door was routinely propped open by teachers for the CONVENIENCE of running to their cars. DAMN. And yes, they never fully pulled the door shut to click it locked. This upsets me, were off on gun control, again. All these schools need to do is LOCK THE DAMN DOORS and have a guard at the main entrance. This stupidity sickens me.
I get your point, but my next comment was preempted by reality just yesterday:
An employee of an Oregon school district turned whistleblower, exposing how the administration at his/her school became permissive to GrubHub/DoorDash/UberEats drivers to simply bypass security and walk right in to deliver food directly to the classrooms/offices within the security perimeter.
Had this event not occurred, it would have been the nature of my comment. When I heard the report, I literally sighed a huge “DUH!”
I am NOT a fan of making schools virtual prisons for students and the consequent psychological damage which would result; I argue that that is unnecessary.
However, the fact remains that Kyron Horman remains missing since disappearing from Skyline Elementary in 2010 and Oregon educational bureaucrats sit on TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars from the virus bills...considering only how they can use the money to benefit themselves...building the risk to students exponentially with their emotional proclamations to Uvalde...NONE of which include more security for schools.
Money is NOT the problem.
“She described how she and the students sought refuge by hiding in the classroom and praying.”
-Uh oh!! She’s gonna be fired and on trial for that!!
She placed four calls to 911 to report her observations using a smart watch. Several of the calls were unsuccessful in reaching the operator.”
- “..for god’s sake man, give up your guns.. trust the government to protect you!..”
Not only did she plays for calls, but she reports he was active shooting for at least 30 minutes. You know, when the school police chief said it was just a hostage situation and no shots being fired.
“Even this teacher didn’t have a key, or she wouldn’t have to prop the door open just to get something from her vehicle.”
That was my first assumption....
I wonder if that particular entrance was part of his evil plan.
It was lunchtime and a packed lunchroom with 100’s of rounds would inflict even more carnage.
But that wreck changed everything and he had to act quickly. He wasn’t expecting an unlocked door unless he knew about that prop rock.
With that much firepower he could quickly shoot out glass doors/windows which is how Adam Lanza got in a locked front entrance at Sandy Hook.
many banks have buzz in systems. i wonder why those are considered more safe than alternatives. there may be some assumptions at play.
